Camp Promise

we make happy campers.

Welcome to Camp Promise, a free, week-long camp for kids, teens, and adults with neuromuscular disorders. Each year, campers and volunteers from all over the country join us at our locations in Connecticut, Colorado, and Washington. Will you be the next member of the Camp Promise family?

This holiday season, Darcy - one of our very thoughtful and talented campers — has shared with us her experiences at Camp Promise and some tips and tricks to have a great week at camp! In this time of giving and being with the ones that mean the most, we are so thankful for our campers like Darcy, their families, and our volunteers and partners for making Camp Promise such a special place. Happy Holidays from all of us at Camp Promise and Jett Foundation!
